Overview
IDP 659380 YMCFKO UV Ribbon, 200 Prints
The IDP 659380 is a six-panel YMCFKO security ribbon for SMART-31 and SMART-51 ID card printers. Yellow, magenta and cyan dye panels print photo-quality color, a fluorescent (F) panel adds a security layer, the black resin (K) panel prints sharp text and barcodes, and the clear overlay (O) panel protects the card. The F panel prints text or images in fluorescent ink that is invisible to the naked eye and shows under a UV (black) light, so staff can check a card for covert marks such as a logo, serial number or second photo. IDP's SMARTMark UV feature in the SMART driver, or SMART IDesigner, assigns a bitmap to the F panel.
Each roll prints up to 200 single-sided cards. Printing full color on both sides of a card uses a panel set per side, about 100 cards per roll. The roll loads into the reusable ribbon cartridge that stays in your printer, and a new disposable cleaning roller comes in the box; replace the roller each time you load a new ribbon. SMART printers read an RFID tag on genuine IDP ribbons to recognize the ribbon type.
SMART-31 and SMART-51 ribbons do not fit the SMART-21, which takes its own ribbons, or the older SMART-30 and SMART-50. Specialist ID is an authorized IDP dealer.
